I love this book! The original ones are kind of boring but these are great.

"Burned", the sixth volume of the Hardy Boys Undercover Brothers, is a letdown from start to finish.
Not only do the Boys have to investigate the somewhat dubious "crime" of illegal CD burning and music downloading (haven't these guys ever heard of iPods?) but it finds them almost eagerly finking on their classmates - even their buddy Chet Morton!
Of course, this being a Hardy Boys story, there is plenty of action. Unfortunately, there is very little detecting.
So far, I've enjoyed the new Undercover Brothers series and I hope this poor story is just a bump in the road and not a harbinger of things to come.

This is a horrible deviation, a mutation, from the orginal excellent Hardy boys stories. A sad comment on the lengths a company will go to try to sell a product without even beginning to attempt to strive for excellence, must less put some interest and appropriate dialogue in the story. Shame on the publishers.

This was a good Hardy adventure, though there was good
parts and bad parts:

The good
The humor
The adventure

The bad
The case was easy to solve
Hardy's are getting a bi corny
